Chapter 131: The Trip to Europe Begins Negotiations

After Jiang Chen finished the inspection, he did not negotiate with Carl immediately, but was invited by Martin, a middle-aged engineer who could speak English, to the factory's restaurant to experience the factory's lunch. To Jiang Chen's surprise, it turned out that this Germany also had a small stove, and Mark led them to eat a small meal eaten by the middle and senior managers of the factory. However, Jiang Chen refused, and under his repeated insistence, everyone still lined up with plates to feel how the lunch of the grassroots workers was.

When Jiang Chen got the food, he found that it was still good, of course, there was still a certain gap with Jiang Chen's expectations. A long white sausage, a loaf of bread mixed with rye and wheat, a spoonful of canned sardines, a tomato cut in half, and a soup that appears to be made from pork stick bones. Jiang Chen tasted it very well, and Wang Hongyi also liked this guy very much, at least Jiang Chen didn't see his kind of resistance when he was in Lao Mei, and he seemed to be full of joy when he ate.

At this time, Martin came over with a few glasses of beer and smiled: "How is it, Jiang, it tastes good." ”

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "It's great." ”

"Come, try our local beer. Martin smiled as he handed the beer to several people.

Jiang Chen was puzzled: "What, is your factory not allowed to drink?"

Martin laughed: "Jiang, this is Germany. And this area is still Munich, where people have grown up in wine barrels, how can alcohol be forbidden. However, because it is the working period, there is a fixed limit for each person per day. ”

"Oh, I see. Jiang Chen raised his wine glass and took a sip, it was really good, the taste was mellow but not sweet, the bitterness was very light, and it was very refreshing. Jiang Chen smiled at Mark, "It tastes good." ”

"Haha, Jiang, I knew you would like it. Mark also raised his wine glass and drank it, but this drink was only half a glass, which made Jiang Chen wonder if he was dealing with an alcoholic.

With the beer in the stomach. The atmosphere of several people became lively, and they all began to talk and laugh. However, Wang Hongyi is not very good at English, so he can only listen to a rough idea. So in the end, he simply didn't listen and concentrated on eating, and this guy alone ate three white sausages. Looking at the different eyes of everyone, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to kick this guy off the table.

Meal. Jiang Chen: They rested in the reception room for a while, and then they had a discussion. This is the first formal negotiation between the two sides, so both sides are testing each other to know where the other side's bottom line is. For example, Jiang Chen wanted to know how this set of equipment was, how much it cost, and what was the lowest bottom line. through what form of cooperation and so on. And the other party was probing Jiang Chen, wanting to know whether Jiang Chen was going to buy it or come to test it, how large he wanted to buy, how much money he had, what was the bottom line of the minimum purchase, and so on. Anyway, this first negotiation between the two sides is like this, and there is no result. After seeing that the time was not early, Jiang Chen and the others ended the negotiation and returned to the hotel where they stayed.

Speaking of the hotel where Jiang Chen and the others lived, this was not as good as it was in Lao Mei. The main reason is that it is used by people to receive them without money, and this time it was Jiang Chen and their own expense, so they are not willing to live so high-end. If it weren't for the question of what image to consider. Jiang Chen wanted to find a small hotel. However, compared to Wang Hongyi, a heartless guy, Jiang Chen worries a lot, this is not this night to sort out the events of the day and the information collected, and then draw conclusions and prepare the materials needed for the next day. Unknowingly, this busyness was all night, and it wasn't until dawn that Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa and squinted for a while.

After having a simple breakfast with Wang Hongyi, Jiang Chen and the others came to the company's headquarters again. And Carl had been waiting there for a long time, and Jiang Chen had to apologize again and again. In this negotiation, Carl and their people obviously have a few more, it seems that you have been tested yesterday, and they already think that Jiang Chen and they sincerely want to cooperate with them. That's why they take it seriously.

After introducing the new personnel, Jiang Chen and the others immediately began to formally negotiate. And Jiang Chen's resolute appearance really surprised Carl's team. This Oriental is not as polite and direct as other Orientals, and it seems that he has to deal with it carefully. Carl immediately said, "Jiang, let me talk about it openly and honestly." What kind of production line do you need? ”

"Carl, what we need is a complete set of equipment and machines for the production of motorcycles and all the production technology. Jiang Chen said.

"Equipment machines can be provided, but this production technology is not so easy, you must know that our technology is very precious. Carl squinted and smiled.

"No matter how precious a technology is, it has a lifespan, and in this era of rapid technological development, they can be easily replaced. Jiang Chen looked at Carl and replied with a smile. His off-string sound is to say. Your technology is already behind and it's not worth that much money.

"Okay, so let's talk about its value. Karl got serious and said, "What you want is a complete motorcycle production plant, which includes an engine production line, two body parts production lines, a wheel production line, a final assembly line, and so on." The most valuable engine line is this one, which accounts for 45 percent of the total equipment. It includes a five-ton fuel crucible furnace and a three-ton electroslag remelting furnace, as well as a precision parts processing line. And the CNC machine tools of this production line have reached 54 percent. It can produce nearly 200 motorcycle engines a day with skilled workers, and I think it's perfect for you. ”

"Oh. Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, "Then what is your offer?"

"Jiang, considering the increasingly close relationship between the two countries, we have decided to give you a good price. The original price of this equipment was equivalent to 3.5 million US dollars, and now we will subtract this fraction and give you 3 million US dollars. Carl picked up a document and handed it to Jiang Chen with a smile.

Jiang Chen took the document and found that it was a quotation table for this complete set of equipment, which marked the original price of each set of equipment and the current depreciation price. I have to say that this German is meticulous, and even some small auxiliary parts on it are clearly marked. He looked at it for a while and said, "Carl, I really can't accept your price, you must know that this is a waste product of yours, which you don't want, and we are now willing to give you a little compensation to help you deal with this pile of waste products, so the price you give is too high." ”

"No, no, no, Jiang. Karl shook his head and said, "You've been there before, and they're still working well, so they're not scrapped." And as you can see, this set of equipment is still in very new condition, and it can be put into production immediately as soon as you ship it back, so it's worth the price. (To be continued.) )
